Tanya tweaked the instructions a bit and used less Valentine-y fabrics (including denim) and I thought her potholders turned out very nicely.

One thing I particularly liked was the pockets on the back of the potholder you can slip your thumb and fingers into for added security while tussling with hot pots and pans…. a pretty cool idea! I think I'll quilt the main part of the potholder before adding the pockets and binding.

I’m debating making the heart-shaped potholders… or making a couple of rectangular-shaped potholders with the pockets on one side…I really like that “pocket” idea… and a rectangular potholder could double as a hot pad.

I like the pocket idea, too. I've never liked the big bulky potholder mitts but many times wish I had just a tad more protection than the basic potholder gives. These you are making are just the thing!
